Not that we condone this sort of thing (I'm just the messenger here, Motorola!), but if you're looking for the SBF files for the Droid Pro, and/or the Droid 2 Global, they are now available. There's no telling how long they will stay available, so think fast and act faster and grab them if you need them (see source links). SBF files are used to roll your Droid handset back to factory fresh...

Verizon has pretty much pulled all the stops for people looking to get an Android smartphone on their network, as you can now get a "buy one, get on" free offer on the the entire lineup of Droids except the Droid Pro, which is probably feeling left out. That means if you buy a Droid X, Droid 2 Global, or Droid Incredible you can get another one for free on 2-year contract. This is in addition to...

Verizon has just announced a new promotion that will provide a bit of extra incentive for users in family plans to upgrade to a smartphone this Christmas season. The offer gets rid of the $9.99 per month charge for adding lines as long as those lines are smartphones and paying the $29.99 per month charge for unlimited data. The rebate actually lasts the entire length of your contract, so...

Some lucky folks out there have managed to already receive their shipments for the Droid 2 Global and with that, some have even taken the time to put it to the test to see if it can be rooted and bootstrapped. Which, appears to be possible using the regular Droid 2 methods. But of course, we do have to advise that you exercise caution if you choose to give it a run through. With that disclaimer...

At this point we're starting to wonder if Verizon is even really going to bother with giving the Droid 2 Global an official announcement. The device is already available for pre order on the Verizon website along with the Droid Pro, yet Motorola is the one doing the introducing the device to the world via a new video. Rather weird if you ask us, but surely at some point Verizon will make some...

Verizon has put the pre-order pages for the Droid Pro and the Droid 2 Global online, and they both are live and ready to take your order. We love seeing Android phones with "world phone" capability, as these two each bring something unique to the table.The Droid Pro combines it's 3.2 inch touch screen with a front facing Qwerty, and is geared directly at the business professional. Its specs are...

Sadly, all you timezone-jumping Android users out there will have to wait just a bit longer for your Droid 2 Global. Contrary to what we previously heard, the Droid 2 Global now has been given a launch date of November 29th. Device launches frequently fall victim to the dreaded one- or two-week delay, and our deepest condolences go out to any of you that are waiting for Motorola's premiere quad...

Everyone's pretty certain that the Droid 2 Global will be launching on Nov. 11, but we love confirmation. These shots from Verizon internal systems are music to our ears ... err, eyes. Above you see both colors with a big "coming soon" label attached, and after the break we have shots of both colors with that Nov 11 date in tow. 1.2 GHz? Check. Two colors? Check. Do want? Check. Hit the...

Hey, look at that. There's another mention of the as-yet-unannounced Droid 2 Global, in a print ad that graces the last page of the December edition of Men's Fitness magazine (for those of you wondering, Phil and I both subscribe). Also note the insane image of World of Warcraft on the screen, possibly teasing us of gaming goodness of Christmas yet to come. If you're listening, Santa, I know...

Think back, and this is pretty much how things went for the original Droid 2, right? Leak after leak after leak, and finally Verizon announced the phone about 48 hours before it was released. So it's with little surprise that VZ Navigator for the Droid 2 Global appears in the Android Market. Leak after leak after leak, folks. Place your bets on when the phone finally appears.
